Got it - thanks for clarifying! Just to close the loop on this @gflint,

We’re working to add `portrait` and `landscape` detection to Thunkable, so hopefully when this is released it will be helpful to you:

Hello,

I assume that there is no landscape option in thunkable x yet. So ı made a button and rotated it, but whenever I click the button the application crashes. I also tried it on my phone (S8 galaxy) returned with the message “something went wrong”

İs there a solution for this?

Thanks in advance

Hi @ozan_erdem_Demirel, welcome to our community 👋

The rotate property expects an input in radians i.e. a value between 0 and 6.28. Are you using something like 90 for your value? This may be the cause of the issue.

No, i dont think so. İ used 1.57 as an ınput. So that it will be 90 degrees

Hi @_GD_ETJ

If you rotate your tablet while testing your app will be in portrait mode.

It might look a bit squashed in the browser but you’ll get a true picture of what it looks like on your tablet.

Hi,

is there a way to create a screen which will force open as a landscape view?  
the info I am showing is way too wide to fit into the regular screen so I am thinking that this specific page will be designed as landscape.

thanks.

It is not yet possible but I recommend just telling your users to put their phones in landscape with a notifier or something like this.

Nice day 🙂

Hi developers:  
With older projects, that I created earlier in the beta test of Thunkable OS, the landscape mode works when turning the iPhone. Can’t you easily activate this early mode?
